Liu Bang 刘邦

汉高祖刘邦（前256年-前195年6月1日），字季（一说原名季），沛郡丰邑中阳里（今江苏丰县）人，汉族。出身平民阶级，秦朝时曾担任泗水亭长，起兵于沛（今江苏沛县），称沛公。秦亡后被封为汉王。后于楚汉战争中打败西楚霸王项羽，成为汉朝（西汉）开国皇帝，庙号为高祖，汉景帝时改为太祖，自汉武帝时期司马迁开始，多以最初的庙号"高祖"称之，谥号为高皇帝，所以史称汉高祖、太祖高皇帝或汉高帝。他对汉民族的统一、中国的统一强大，汉文化的保护发扬有决定性的贡献。
Emperor Gaozu, Liu Bang (256 BC - 1 June 195 BC), courtesy named Ji (some others also refer Ji to be his original name), Han nationality, native of Zhongyang, Fengyi, Pei prefecture (present-day Feng County, Jiangsu province) was one of the few dynasty founders in Chinese history to emerge from the peasant class. Serving as a Prefect of Sishui during the Qin Dynasty and later rising to prominence in Pei (today Pei County, Jiangsu province), Liu Bang was addressed as "Duke of Pei". He was also granted the title "King of the Han" following Qin's demise. Later, he defeated Xiangyu, hegemonic king of the Western Chu in the Chu-Han contention, becoming the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. His temple name was Gaozu, which was changed to Taizu during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han. Since Sima Qian's period, the period of Emperor Wu of the Han, he has been more often referred to "Gaozu" as his temple name. Plus his posthumous name is Emperor Gao, so he is also known as Emperor Gaozu of the Han, Emperor Gao Taizu or Emperor Gao of the Han. He has made a defining contribution to the unification of the Han Nationality, the strengthening of China and to the protection as well as the promotion of Han culture.
